Verified vulnerabilities are Critical, up from 1 in 40 last year.

Critical findings are no longer the exception. They're the new normal. Hackers
chain novel vectors globally within seconds of a new path appearing.
Your scanner sees individual flaws. They see the door. Astra sees the whole house.

Built on real pentesting expertise
Our autonomous system works hand in hand with engines that teams already use. As your surface changes, the AI agents instantly incorporate those signals and continue testing with fresh context. This ensures continuity across everything you already trust Astra for.
Multi-step attack chains
Each agent is trained for a specific part of an attacker’s workflow: Reconnaissance, authentication flow mapping, fuzzing, workflow exploration, exploit development, privilege escalation, attack chaining, validation. They operate like a coordinated team, making decisions based on what they learn from your application.
Contextual business logic testing
The agents observe real flows such as checkout, onboarding, API interactions, role-based actions, and multi-step forms. This allows them to explore business logic routes that normally take time and human effort.
Human + AI validation, built in
Astra’s expert validation layer remains central. Every meaningful finding passes through this layer, so teams get clarity, accuracy, reproducibility, and prioritization without noise.
Continuous, on your schedule
The autonomous engine runs in the background, learning alongside your deployments and new features. Your workflow stays intact. Your existing scanners stay valuable. You gain an additional layer that continues to react as your environment evolves.

Fast like AI. Careful like a person

Go beyond surface-level scanning. We simulate real-world attacks to uncover
deep-seated vulnerabilities across your entire stack.

Business logic vulnerabilities

Web app & API vulnerabilities

Attack Chains & Exploit Paths

From business logic vulnerabilities
to exploit chains

Broken access controls in multi-role flows

IDOR across hidden or nested API paths

Payment and discount abuse via workflow
manipulation

Show example

A SaaS platform offers a premium tier locked behind a paywall. AP discovers that by replaying a specific sequence of API calls out of order, a free user can unlock premium features without triggering any authorization check. No credentials stolen. No brute force. Just logic, exploited the way a real hacker would find it.

Identify all the unprotected web app endpoints

Authentication bypasses via broken JWT and session handling

SQLi and XSS with full request and response proof attached

API parameter tampering leading to unauthorized data access

Show example

An e-commerce application accepts a user ID parameter in its order history endpoint. AP discovers the parameter is not validated server-side. By incrementing the ID by one, AP accesses any other customer's full order history and personal details. Finding delivered with exact HTTP request, response, and steps to reproduce. Developer receives the fix in Cursor before the end of the day.

Find cloud issues from chained IDOR to auth token abuse

Multi-step privilege escalation across service boundaries

Chained IDOR leading to full account takeover

Auth token abuse enabling lateral movement across microservices

Show example

A fintech application running on AWS exposes an internal metadata endpoint accessible from the application layer. AP chains this with an SSRF vulnerability found in the image upload feature to extract IAM role credentials from the EC2 metadata service. Using those credentials, AP demonstrates read access to an S3 bucket containing customer financial records. Three vulnerabilities. One chain. One very bad morning without AP.

Two agentic armies that run simultaneously.

"Astra identified several moderate and high severity issues that our team never thought existed. We are working in the Mental Health space and data privacy is extremely critical to us."

Georgi Atanasov
CTO, Senior

"The MCP integration is where Astra pulled ahead of every other pen-test vendor. Triage turned into a few queries in chat, and fixes landed faster because the agent had full context."

Helen Tse
COO, Saturation

"Astra plugs straight into our agent tooling. Findings come with enough context that my coding agents fix, test, and validate the patch with a human in the loop. For a lean KYC platform, that's the difference between a backlog and a same-day fix."

What is autonomous penetration testing?

Autonomous Pentesting is continuous form of pentesting powered by AI that goes far beyond traditional DAST scans and continuously identifies, validates, chains and prioritises real-world vulnerabilities. It bridges the critical gaps left by sporadic pentests by assessing applications between scheduled assessments.

How is autonomous pentesting different from traditional manual penetration testing?

Manual pentesting is deep, point-in-time, and human-driven. Autonomous pentesting is continuous, adaptive, and runs at your chosen cadence. With Astra, you don't choose between them both layers work together. Your annual human pentest provides assurance and deep adversarial reasoning; autonomous testing fills the gaps in between, catching new issues as your product evolves.

Is it safe to run autonomous pentests on my environment?

Yes. Autonomous pentests are purpose-built to operate safely in production and staging. Astra's engine respects rate limits, follows controlled attack patterns, and avoids destructive actions. You choose the scope, intensity, and allowed behaviours.

What types of vulnerabilities can autonomous pentesting detect?

Astra's agents find multi-step attack chains, business logic flaws, broken access controls, IDOR, workflow bypasses, authentication vulnerabilities, cloud misconfigurations, and the full OWASP Top 10. Critically, because the AI builds context from your actual application not a static test case library, it can find vulnerabilities that only become visible when multiple findings are chained together.

Does autonomous pentesting replace human penetration testers?

No. It complements them. Autonomous pentesting provides continuous coverage, while human pentesters handle complex logic, adversarial reasoning, and nuanced exploitation paths. Astra combines both to deliver verified, high-confidence results.

How long does an autonomous pentest take to complete?

The engine begins discovering and testing immediately. Initial results appear within hours, and continuous scanning runs in the background, updating findings as your application changes.

What environments or assets can autonomous pentesting cover?

Right now, Astra's autonomous pentesting covers web applications and APIs, including authentication flows, microservices, and internal and external attack surfaces accessible through your application. Cloud infrastructure testing is on the roadmap and coming soon.

How is my data protected during autonomous pentesting?

All testing runs within your defined scope using encrypted channels. No sensitive data is stored unnecessarily, and results remain confined to your Astra dashboard. Multi-agent activity is logged, auditable, and governed by strict security controls.

Can this report be used for a compliance audit?

Yes. Astra's autonomous pentest reports are structured to align with SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and GDPR requirements. The findings, severity ratings, and remediation steps are documented in a format auditors recognise and accept.

Does Autonomous Pentest cover business logic checks?

Absolutely. Our AI agents, trained on 5,000+ real pentests, excel at uncovering business logic vulnerabilities, authorization bypasses, workflow circumvention, and state manipulation, beyond typical configuration issues. Our attack chaining capability is particularly powerful for discovering complex, multi-step logic exploits that require precise sequencing
